What is Naloxone:

Naloxone is a medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and allow time for medical help to arrive

Naloxone is an opioid antagonist. This means it blocks the effects of opioids, such as heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone and hydrocodone. It can restore normal breathing to a person whose breathing has shallowed or stopped as a result of an overdose
